Chapter 95: Chapter 93: Method for Breeding the Insect Swarm, Qi Sea Realm Combat Power

The gestation of Insect Swarm units had a lot to do with their genetic maps, and it was equally dependent on the materials required for their gestation. Even for the same unit, using different materials would result in drastically different combat power.

Demon Monster Scale Armor and Bones could also serve as gestation materials. However, using these demon materials directly for gestation previously had yielded a poor return on investment and was simply not cost-effective.

But this Red Feather Demon King was different. The main difference lay in this Demon Pill!

In the words of the Insect Swarm’s inheritance, it was a high-energy aggregate. To put it more simply, in Qin Yu’s Earth era, this thing was like the engine of a car or an airplane! It could absolutely be used directly as the gestation core of an Elite unit.

After all, before the Insect Swarm broke through to Tier Three, the Insect Nest could not gestate High Tier Units of the Qi Sea Realm. But if the Red Feather Demon King’s Demon Pill was used directly as the core, it became a possibility.

A similar method was recorded in the *Ten Thousand Poison Gu Refining Scripture* among the many inheritances of the Five Poison Sect. One could use the Outer Pill method to refine it into a Pseudo Pill, granting the user an alternative form of Qi Sea Realm combat power. This was because this Outer Pill naturally possessed bizarre Secret Patterns that could allow the user to wield a portion of Qi Sea Realm power.

In the *Poison Shadow Mysterious Array*, there were methods of using a Demon Pill as the eye of the array to invoke its power. It could be said that the most precious part of a Qi Sea Realm Great Demon’s corpse was this Demon Pill. Bar none!

Naturally, the Insect Swarm also had a way to utilize it. And it was even more exquisite.

"Analyze the corpse of the Red Feather Demon King. It would be best to directly use its flesh and blood to gestate a new Three-legged Fire Crow. Perhaps even the trace of Golden Crow Bloodline contained within it can be preserved. This way, even if its strength isn’t as great as it was in life, it won’t be too far off!"

Qin Yu stared burningly at the Red Feather Demon King undergoing analysis, a surge of excitement rising in his heart. This was equivalent to letting the Insect Swarm possess Qi Sea Realm combat power ahead of time!

Not only that, for Qin Yu himself to break through to the Qi Sea Realm, he needed to comprehend a trace of the True Intent of Law. If he were to comprehend it himself, even with the Insect Swarm’s assistance, it would take a considerable amount of time. But what if he used it first and mastered it later?

The Insect Swarm was a single entity. All Insect Swarm units were a part of Qin Yu, an extension of his limbs. If a Qi Sea Realm Three-legged Fire Crow appeared in the Insect Swarm, it was equivalent to him mastering the Flame True Intent. Even if it was cast directly through special means, it still counted as mastery!

Board the train first and buy the ticket later! In doing so, breaking through to the Qi Sea Realm would naturally be thousands of times easier!

Devour! Evolve! This was not only reflected in flesh, blood, and genetics, but could also be reflected in Law Insights. The Insect Swarm could equally plunder the Law Insights of other races! Moreover, it was not merely simple plundering and copying.

As the Red Feather Demon King’s flesh and blood gradually melted away in the Decomposition Chamber, the bizarre Secret Patterns on its Scale Armor, bones, and even its Demon Pill began to be recorded and analyzed by the Insect Nest. The abilities of Demon Fiends were often called Innate Divine Techniques. They were born mastering such powers without needing to comprehend them; the secret lay in these patterns hidden within their bodies. This was a key! A key to mastering power.

By incorporating them into the Insect Nest, the Insect Swarm wasn’t just copying them—it began attempting to thoroughly master the secrets within.

"The True Intent mastered by the Three-legged Fire Crow is Flame. That trace of Golden Crow Bloodline even elevates its flame to what can be called True Sun Fire, which possesses extreme might. It’s a pity that I’m not skilled with flames, and none of the Cultivation Techniques I’ve collected are related to fire."

Amidst his joy, Qin Yu also felt a slight sense of imperfection. As the Dominator of the Insect Swarm, he was destined to be different from others. He would master countless True Intents, and even countless Law Forces. After all, the Insect Swarm would only grow larger and larger.

The types of units within it would also continue to increase, and different units would naturally favor different attributes—the conventional Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, or perhaps Space, Yin and Yang, and so on. But that was for the future. Right now, his priority was to break through to the Qi Sea Realm!

"That Flood Dragon, being a Fish Dragon, most likely mastered the True Intent of Water, and it might even have mastered the True Intent of Wind. This is actually much more suitable for me."

Qin Yu looked toward the lake where the Flood Dragon resided. Controlling wind and rain was the Talent Ability of the vast majority of dragon species, and the True Intent of Wind shared some similarities with the *Spirit Snake Shadow Poison Scripture*. Furthermore, his father, Qin Hu, was also exchanging for the *Wind and Thunder Treasure Mirror* in Bishui City for him. This was a Gamma-level Upper Grade Technique that was a typical Wind and Thunder Attribute.

"I’ll wait a bit longer. With the Insect Nest devoting its full effort to analyzing the Three-legged Fire Crow’s bloodline genes and gestating a unit with its Demon Pill, it will allow the Insect Swarm to possess a Qi Sea Realm combatant first. Once that’s done, I’ll have a much greater chance of success when hunting the Flood Dragon."

With his consciousness linked into the Mind Network of the Insect Swarm, he observed the lake occupied by the Flood Dragon. Swaths of the Insect Swarm roamed the surrounding waterways, with many even disguising themselves as ordinary fish to approach and scout. For some unknown reason, this Flood Dragon was heavily injured. Ever since the Insect Swarm discovered it, it had stayed inside the Dragon Palace, refusing to come out at all. Even its meals were delivered inside by other Demon Fiends.

However, the Insect Swarm still managed to infiltrate and catch a glimpse of this Flood Dragon’s true appearance. Its body length was much greater than that of the Profound Flood Dragon. Even as a relatively stout Fish Dragon, it reached a staggering thirty zhang—a full hundred meters in length!

This was absolutely a true behemoth. If it weren’t for the massive gash on its abdomen emitting an obvious stench of lethal poison, Qin Yu really wouldn’t have dared to target it.

This was because, underwater, the Insect Swarm’s combined strike—namely, the Thunder Roc’s attack—could not be used. Even if it was forcefully deployed, its power would be severely dampened by the water. Among the underwater Demon Fiends, the Insect Swarm had actually encountered a type of single-horned electric eel. It could also manipulate thunder and lightning, but its electricity functioned as an area-of-effect attack, which was not very effective against top-tier individual units. Therefore, when facing such powerful beings like the Profound Flood Dragon and the Profound Armor Cyan Ao, they could only rely on numbers to overwhelm and exhaust them to death.

Qin Yu himself couldn’t estimate how heavy the casualties would be. However, he had already mobilized twenty-six thousand combat units of the Insect Swarm, including more than two thousand at the Qi and Blood Realm or above.

"Originally, I planned to wipe you out first. But looking at it now, I can wait a little longer. It will be much safer once the Insect Swarm’s Qi Sea Realm combatant emerges. Over on my father’s side, the items should be delivered soon as well," Qin Yu thought silently.

Meanwhile, in Bishui City, at the Treasure Pavilion.

With another thirty Rapid Insects clearing the way, five carriages loaded with Hundred Fruit Brew and the second batch of mountain treasures rolled into the premises. Shopkeeper Zhou, who had received the news early on, came out to greet them in person.

"Clan Leader Qin, hurry! Please come inside!" he said, his eyes shining as he looked at the heavy carriages. He continuously pulled Qin Hu inside, completely ignoring the Shadow Scale Snake coiled around Qin Hu’s wrist. This was a huge deal!

Bishui City was very large, home to hundreds of thousands of people. But to some of the major factions within it, it was quite small.

The scene of Lin Jianqing from the Demon Suppression Bureau paying a personal visit, followed by over a dozen Flying War Beasts landing in succession, had shocked countless hidden observers. These Flying War Beasts hadn’t come empty-handed. Instead, they brought large batches of supplies. Coupled with Qin Hu’s previous words, how could Shopkeeper Zhou not realize the Qin Family’s transportation method? Aerial transport! Furthermore, they landed directly inside Bishui City. Even if other factions wanted to plot against them, there was nothing they could do, as Qin Hu never left the city. Most importantly, it was obvious that the Qin Family had deep ties with the Demon Suppression Bureau.

"Sure thing! Let’s get these items appraised first," Qin Hu replied.
